Christmas Day update...

Merry Christmas from Memphis!  Ashlie is still holding her own.  Her kidney function continues to improve a little each day which is great and an answered prayer.  She is having some back pain so pray for her comfort.  Dan and I are spending some time at the hospital this afternoon with her while the rest of the family gets some off time playing with Cooper & Reese Ann at Natalie & Eric's house.  We saw Dr. Eason- the transplant surgeon originally from Jackson who has taken a special interest in Ashlie- just a few minutes ago.  He is going off call today and will be off for the next week, but he assured us that the surgeon who will possibly be doing her transplant sometime this week is excellent.  Thanks for all the love and support coming our way.  Ashlie and the entire family feel it, and we are so grateful!  Merry Christmas!
